Nicole Kidman: Harper's Bazaar Beauty

Nicole Kidman is front and center in Harper’s Bazaar February 2011 issue.

On hoping and praying to find someone like husband Keith Urban: “I remember thinking, Oh, my God, if you ever gave me a man like that, I promise I would be completely devoted for the rest of my life. Something that wild. I remembered praying after I met him that I’d meet somebody, if not him, like him.”

On family versus a career: “I like to ask people if they would rather have a great love that lasts a lifetime or an amazing career where you go down in history. Some people do answer that they want an extraordinary career.” FYI: Both Nicole and Jennifer said they would choose love!

On motherhood: “I had kids at 25 and 27 [Isabella and Connor, Nicole’s adopted children with first husband Tom Cruise]. I think I have more patience now but less physical energy. It’s a trade-off: In your 20s, you’re bounding around, they’re attached at your hip, and you can just go and do anything. But I’m much more of a homebody now. My roots are deeper.”

On what she would tell her 20-year-old self: “That you’re going to meet the love of your life. My whole thing, my whole thrust in life, was hoping I would.”

On moving to Nashville: “I love living a ways away. That’s what I’ve worked for in my career, to not have to live in Los Angeles. So it was fortuitous that Keith happened to live in Tennessee. He brought me down to this place called Leipers Fork, just outside of Nashville, very lush and rural. I just went aaah. You know how you dream as a girl; I’m one of those people. I would meet a guy, then I would imagine myself married and with kids within the first hour. [Laughs] But it worked out.”

Nicole Kidman Glamour in Blue

Nicole Kidman Does Glamour Magazine, here's the interview highlights:

On her happiness:
‘Happy’ isn’t an all-encompassing-enough word. I’m in a place of gratitude and humility. I don’t take any of it for granted. I touch wood every day. The journey of life - we all go through it: You have love, you lose love, you find new love. To have love again is a beautiful thing.”

On who Sunday looks like:
Keith! It’s fine by me, having a little Keith-ette. When he goes away, I can look at her and see him.

On the birth of Sunday:
Keith was my rock during childbirth. I’d heard horror stories of 40 hours of labor, and I was sure that would be me, but I had a very easy labor. And through it all, Keith’s eyes gave me such strength.

On how Connor and Isabella are reacting to their new sibling:
They’re very adoring of her. They’re used to having a little one around, because of Suri [Cruise’s daughter with Katie Holmes]. Bella is very maternal. Connor would like one of us to have a boy. He wants that boy. [Pauses.] Katie…? [Laughs.]

On Keith’s alcohol addiction:
It brought us to our knees.… Addiction is very prevalent in our society, and it can be shattering to both people in the relationship. But working through it together was an extraordinary path. It’s very easy for a couple to experience joy together. But when you experience pain together, it can lead to such depth and such union. That is when you fuse.… As a couple, we are in a place of deep gratefulness. The experience gave us deep honesty - and greater love.”

On being married to Tom Cruise:
I felt I became a star only by association. I didn’t think [the early movies] were very good, which is why I would always cower in the background. I thought, I don’t deserve to be here. We would go to the Oscars and I would think, I’m here to support him. I felt it was my job to put on a beautiful dress and be seen and not heard.”

On the divorce:
I went six years alone. I’m not saying it’s for everyone, but it’s better to be alone than in a lousy relationship. Work was my escape. I was existing more strongly in my creative world than in my own world… [I learned] how to stand on my own two feet. I had to find my own identity, and my own reason for being here, and it couldn’t be because of another person.”

Nicole Kidman - Interview Magazine

And acording to [Source], actress Nicole Kidman has reportedly been scoffing her face with chocolate and pasta - in order to fatten up for her latest movie role.

The ‘Stepford Wives’ actress has already gained 10lbs to play a middle-aged woman in her new movie ‘The Reader’ by sticking to a four meal-a-day high calorie diet of puddings, protein shakes and carbohydrate-rich foods.

A friend of Kidman’s is quoted as saying: “It’s a very demanding role because there are a lot of explicit lovemaking scenes. The film is set over several decades so her character changes a lot. Nicole was originally planning to use prosthetics but was told by the director, Stephen Daldry, it would be more realistic if she gained the weight.

“It’s not usual to see her work her way through a big plate of pasta, with bread, and then a dessert.”

Kidman, who plays a Nazi camp guard who has an affair with a teenage boy and is later put on trial for war crimes - has reportedly enjoyed one major benefit from her weight gain - bigger boobs!

Kidman’s friend added: “Nicole loves her new bosom, but she is finding eating so much makes her lethargic and sleepy.”Source URL: http://doradadama.blogspot.com/search/label/Nicole%20Kidman
